May 2013 Round-Up

May has been a difficult month, due to the medical issues James has been dealing with, and at the moment there’s no end in sight. Having him home has meant that the routine that had been working well for me is now impossible. James is much more nocturnal than I am, so he’s late to bed and late to rise, so I’ve been getting much less sleep than normal, but I have been able to work in the afternoons, even though that isn’t the best time for me. I’ve also been having concentration issues. There’s so much that I want to be doing and it feels like I don’t have enough time to do it all, which leads to procrastination, although I do seem to be getting better at dealing with that feeling.

Finish something month didn’t go as well I was hoping, but at least I did finish one story, and I’ll be continuing it into next month as I mentioned before. I’ve spent the month writing continuations and working on prompt call stories, which did go well. Even though I haven’t quite finished all of the prompts I’m well on my way to having them all done.

This month I missed three days of the 365 stories, but I have been posted prompted stories and I posted a few for the Crowdfunding Creative Jam, so I think that I’m still up to date, although I still haven’t updated my progress bar.

For the first time I nearly reached my monthly goal for donations, even though I was nowhere near getting what I need to cover the groceries. I’m hoping now that I’ve earnt a little money I’ll start earning more, because right now we really do need my income to be able to cover all of the rent and the groceries.

Plans for June: I’m not going to make a plan for July, because at the moment I have no idea what’s going to happen with James, but I do want to do the credit count.

Aims for June: make enough to cover the groceries, at least, and complete at least three stories.

Update: 1st June

Thanks to another kind donation I have, for the first time ever, made enough to reach one of the site perks. Due to this I’ll be posting 10,000 words this month, as well as continuing to post the serial and the 365 stories, so I’m really pleased, even though having a good month in May doesn’t mean I’ll necessarily have another good month in June. I’m not entirely certain what I’ll be posting, although I was thinking I might continue Kaito’s side story.

I’ve also created a brochure to gather together some of what I offer as a crowdfunder, which can be found here. Let me know what you think and if there’s anything more you think I should add, as well as passing it on to anyone you think might be interested, because I’m hoping it will be very useful for people who want to know more. I’m also planning on making some introductory ebooks for my worlds, which I think will include an introductory story.
